Needing a plug
Electric describes phenomena involving electricity—the flow of charged particles that powers modern life.
An electric current moves through wires; an electric car runs on batteries rather than gasoline.
Figuratively, electric describes an atmosphere charged with excitement or tension: The crowd was electric.
Electric also distinguishes powered instruments from acoustic ones: an electric guitar, an electric piano.
